Sizzle: Dumpling & Authentic Chinese Cuisine

Delicious food! My boyfriend and I were blown away, we got the beef noodle soup and the chili oil noodles. I have been looking for a place like this near here. The staff are all very friendly. The noodles are great with a perfect bite and chew, will definitely be returning!!

Food was really good but the service was mediocre. Definitely recommend their lo mein— it was so delicious and the perfect amount of sauce on the noodles. They could definitely make their service better though.

Actual hand-pulled noodles! Both the noodles and the dumplings were absolutely fantastic. My wife and I are already looking forward to our next visit!

Wonderful food with friendly helpful staff! We tried the recommended braised beef noodle bowl, steamed pork dumplings, and cheese wanton. All excellent!

It was one of the best foods I tried in Charlotte!!!

I come here way too much...
Food is really good!!!
Small restaurant, a little cramped so try to go during non peak times

I randomly got take out from here and it was AWESOME. Just go, it’s great.

Don't pass this gem up!!!

The variety and quality of options are top notch! We arrived early and the place filled quickly after, which was obviously understandable once we received our food!

This place has single-handedly ruined Asian food for everyone. This is THE best Asian street. Period. Our server, Livi, was so sweet. She's the cutest. If you don't eat here, then you must like so-so food because you won't find better anywhere else.

I have not been to this place in a while, but gonna be my last time, very disappointed today. Waited 45min for my order-Tonkotchu Ramen soup and taste salty, especially the egg, I been to so many Ramen noodle restaurant and this is the worst one for now, used to be better. The restaurant does not have a good ventilation system, so u can see the smoke and the smell is quite strong.

Food is authentic. There was only one waiter and there was no air conditioning, only fans which made the place really hot inside. It seems like a huge restaurant but once inside, it looks packed. As a Chinese restaurant it is on point.

Update - I visited again, one week later, for dinner this time, as I needed my Asian food fix. See my original review below which was during lunch time. Sometimes you are blinded by new shiny things and you don't see the real picture. So here's the update. First and foremost, originally I thought the permanently attached fans on every wall was a great feature as it keeps the air moving. Now I realize that they are there because the business uses no air conditioning. And no, its not broken, I asked more than one employee. They are in a pretty new shop/building and it was off the first time we visited too a week prior. The only difference was a week prior was lunch and the outside temp was only 80 degrees and the fans were on full blast. This time it was for dinner, the sun was beating down right through the front windows, some of the fans were off (or broken), and it was at least 93 degrees outside. It was every bit of 90 degrees inside. Nothing like eating hot Asian food while sticking to the vinyl chairs. Second, forget about the fried rice as mentioned below - its only included for lunch. You don't get ANY rice with your main dish, not even a scoop of plain white rice. You can buy some for $11 to share if you wish - turning your $13-$18 entree into a $24-$29 dish. Not worth that much. And finally the service. You would think they would come around more often to offer or at least refill your drink/water - as you are eating hot food, in a hot dining room, while sitting on hot vinyl chairs, with hot air blowing all over you - you'd be wrong. The atmosphere and poor service takes away from the taste of the food. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, and try them again. I'll post a new update. In the meantime, get your food to go.

Original post - Best Asian food in all of Charlotte. Trust me! I would know as I've been looking for it for the last 25 years!! You will not regret a visit to Sizzle! The Sizzle LoMain (steak, chicken, shrimp, and mussels) was enough for three people. And the fried rice was the same price as the delicious white rice. Wow - what a concept!
